Thrifty Rich

When teacher and mum of two Lou Gibson (aka That Money Mum) realised her family was spending more than they earned, the numbers stopped her in her tracks. She set out to reset their finances – and found it transformed far more than their bank balance.
In a world of mindless tap-and-go payments, endless subscriptions and Instagram-fuelled comparison, Lou discovered that while the external pressures were very real, the change had to start with her. And that shift gave her something priceless: peace.
Blending powerful personal stories with practical money strategies, Thrifty Rich shows how small daily choices can transform your budget – and replace financial stress with calm.
Lou’s lessons cover:
- tackling rising grocery bills
- no-spend challenges
- cutting through consumer pressure
- big life events like weddings and babies
- living within your means
- habits for building long-term wealth – and much more.
If you’re feeling the cost-of-living squeeze and exhausted by the pressure to keep up, Thrifty Rich shows you how to take control.
Because being ‘thrifty’ isn’t about deprivation.
It’s about becoming rich in the things that money can’t buy.
